Being a first post in what will no doubt explode into a mega-thread, my first inclination is to throw CC under the bus. (For those not 'in the know,' that's Christopher Cantwell) However, I trust that he'll advance his own knowledge across time and repudiate a mountain of alt-right nonsense which he currently subscribes to...

So let's kick off this thread then, with this 'gem' of a specimen:

Clara Powers of Wheatland spoke for Trump on Saturday. She told the crowd she has three grandchildren. "I do not want any of them working with next-generation science," Powers said. "I do not want my grandchildren to believe in evolution.

"I would rather salute the creator," she said. "...When I'm in tree posture there are also Bible verses about God being a gardener who tends us and grows us, nurtures us and he wants us to be fruitful.

Utah political leaders and anti-pornography activists said Tuesday that children’s minds are being corrupted in a world where graphic sexual images are a click away.

The remarks were made as a spirited defense of the state’s declaration that pornography is a public health crisis.

U.S. Congressman Reads Bible Verse Before Vote on LGBT Rights — Calling for ‘Death to Gays’

Washington D.C. — (RT) A GOP congressman has called on the Bible for help with a verse condemning homosexuality – right ahead of the vote on a Democrat-proposed amendment that would prohibit work discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
